Okay thanks for your response--good to know! Sounds like I should hopefully get into at least 1 school! Which is all I want haha! Wish you all the best in grad school!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response! It's good to hear someone with similar stats/background got into a lot of schools. I think your reasoning is spot on too--probably best to just really focus in on my statement of intent at this point as that's most likely to add the most value to my application. Thanks again! You've really helped me to stop stressing so much.

I have a list of about 7 schools but I'm worried that's not enough . I just keep hearing about people who applied 10 places and didn't get in! Especially in California, where I live. It's really daunting. 1st Bach. GPA: 3.74 Usu 2nd Bach gpa: 4.0 so far but I still have to take the 3 hardest courses GRE: 165V/153Q/4.5AW Really no field experience--but I do have a music background, and about 10 years of singing training and a year of volunteering that involved kids. Should I retake the GRE to try and raise my quant score or writing score? Or should I scramble to try and add more in field experience (which will be hard because I'm a stay at home mom with no childcare but if I have to I'll do it!)? Applying mostly to schools in California and Texas because that's where I have family and of course they are the most competitive states it seems! I have a list of about 7 schools, should I add more?
